Former first lady Michelle Obama will not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration, her office said Tuesday.

“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” the statement said.

No reason was given for her absence.

Michelle Obama also did not attend the funeral service last week for former President Jimmy Carter. Barack Obama, George W. and Laura Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton were in attendance, as were President Joe Biden and Jill Biden and President-elect Trump and Melania Trump.

Michelle Obama has attended every inauguration since her husband’s in 2009, including Trump’s inauguration when he succeeded Obama in 2017. It was not an experience she enjoyed, she acknowledged in her “The Light Podcast” in 2023.

“[T]here was no diversity, there was no color on that stage. There was no reflection of the broader sense of America. Many people took pictures of me and they’re like, you weren’t in a good mood. No, I was not,” she said.
